About Shrimp samosa

Shrimp samosas are a delicious appetizer rooted in South Asian cuisine, blending crispy, golden-brown pastry with a flavorful shrimp filling. Inside, tender shrimp is combined with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili, often paired with finely chopped onions, garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs such as cilantro. This savory filling is wrapped in thin pastry sheets, triangular in shape, and deep-fried to perfection. Shrimp is an excellent source of lean protein and essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium, making it a nutritious ingredient. However, the deep-frying process adds extra calories and unhealthy fats, which can increase the item’s overall calorie content. For those looking to enjoy shrimp samosas in a healthier way, baking or air-frying is a great alternative. This flavorful fusion of seafood and spice makes shrimp samosas a beloved snack or side dish for many cuisines around the world.
